Wash the cranberries. Generously grease an 8-inch pie plate. Cover the bottom of the pie plate with the cranberries. Sprinkle the berries with ½ cup of sugar. More can be added if you want it sweeter. Sprinkle with chopped nuts.
Mix together the butter and the solid shortening. Add the other ½ cup of sugar and cream them together. Add the egg and the flour and mix well. Spread this mixture over the berries. Bake at 350º for 40 minutes.
